Importance of good quality

Everyone subscribes to the importance of good quality. That does not mean, however, that everything will work out by itself. Indeed, successful “Continuous Improvement” is quite a challenge. Where do you start? And how do you include your employees in this process? Rolling out an improvement program requires proper preparation. Knowing where you are now is important in determining where the focus will be in the coming time. Discover the challenges companies face and get tools to avoid falling into the (standard) pitfalls.
